An investigation into cellular components in bacteria has unexpectedly uncovered a feature with relevance across many life ...

High-resolution imaging has revealed the internal layout of chromatin condensates, showing how DNA fibers fold and interact ...

Inside every human cell, six feet of DNA folds into a nucleus that is only a few micrometers wide, yet still manages to switch genes on and off with exquisite precision. The latest work on ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases we know. It commonly impacts the lungs, but can also affect other areas of the body like the spine, brain or kidneys.

Three more papers on the samples brought back from asteroid Bennu reveal the place contains the building blocks of DNA and ...

Cr yo-ET captured dozens of projection images of each slice from different angles. Computational processing then stitched ...

The DNA inside our cells is constantly being damaged, and one of the worst kinds of damage is a double-strand break-when both sides of the DNA helix are cut at once.

New ultra-detailed imaging exposes the hidden structure and behavior of chromatin condensates — and hints at how their ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

Asteroid Bennu's sample delivered a shock: ribose and glucose were found, confirming the widespread presence of life's fundamental building blocks in the early Solar System.
